HEY These are documents in a draft state did you notice!.
FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP )
FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) is an software architecture that serves as a foundation for server application, application stacks and server frameworks built on top of the FedoraOS, providing solid secure flexible and scalable server foundation with advanced control and manageability for more robust server environments.
FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) consist of:
- GNU/Linux kernel to provide scalable operating system kernel.
- Dracut to provide an initramfs infrastructure.
- Systemd to provide service initialization, scalable system and network and container management and more.
- SELinux to provide mandatory access controls.
- BTRFS to provide filesystems with scalability,performance and security.
- DNF to provide Package Management
- Multipathd to provide input-output (I/O) fail-over and load-balancing for block devices.
- Bash to provide an command-line interface for interacting with the operating system.
- Util-Linux to provide a suite of essential tools and utilities.
- Openssh to provide secure remote access to the server
- NTP to provide networked clock synchronization.
- SSSD to provide access to identity and authentication remote resource through a common framework that can provide caching and offline support to the system.
- Augeas to provide local configuration API.
- Net-SNMP to provide monitoring of the health and welfare of the server and server applications.
- BareOS-client to provide secure efficient way to backup your server and application data.

Restoring
If problems occur when you upgrade FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) and the related Server Role tthis section describes how to revert/restore it to it's previous state yata yata.
Server Roles, Technologies and Features in FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP )
This section provides a brief overview of the FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) server roles and the general features that they provide.
Each server running FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) runs one or more server roles. A server role is a defined set of server application functionalities provided by that server. You do not need to deploy all available server roles in your network but rather install only the server roles that contain the functionality that you want,require or need in your infrastructure.
Even if you are not familiar with all the server roles available in the FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ), the *Missing Infrastructure and or website Tool* can help identify and guide you to the best solution for the servers that you need to deploy, based on the features that you want,require or need in your infrastructure.

FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) Support and Life cycle
We probably windup having to have FOS and FOSSP and each Server Role all on different release cycle o_O
FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) life cycle phases are designed to reduce the level of change within each major release over time and make release availability and content more predictable for the actual length of the life cycle.
While we make every effort at maintaining quality, yata yata dont hesitate report that bug...
Contents of a Service Pack
Service packs contain fixes for:
- Security reported problems.
- Critical reported problems by administrators.
- Critical problems found by development or QA test teams.
Changes in services packs are limited to minimal corrections that do not change behaviour or add new functionality to the current release.
New feature and enhancements are shipped in new releases for FOS, FOSSP and FOSSP Server Roles.
Here you can find lists the FedoraOS Server Platform ( FOSSP ) lifecycle by release and the duration of support for that release.
TODO figure out a proper release naming scheme for FOS and FOSSP and Server Role major and minor releases and change sample accordingly. Propably name and the major, minornumber + their release date should work well enough however extending http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html might be needed.
